A motion for bail reform put forward by the federal Conservatives (CPC) has been defeated in a vote of 205–116 in the House of Commons on Feb. 6.
The motion was first brought forward on Feb. 2 by Conservative MP Raquel Dancho, the party’s public safety critic, following the first-degree murder charges laid in the death of Ontario Provincial Police Constable Greg Pierzchala. The new constable was allegedly killed by a suspect already on bail for previous assault and weapons charges.
